Performance was positive across all three regions in the first half of the year. Revenue in the EMEA region increased from €193.3 million in the previous year to €226.8 million. Growth was driven in particular by significant increases in sales volume and revenue in the Industry and Infrastructure business lines. At €85.9 million, revenue in the Americas region was unchanged year on year. Despite a 4% rise in sales volume, revenue stagnated against the backdrop of product mix, pricing, and currency effects attributable to a weaker US dollar. Revenue in the Asia-Pacific region increased from €22.7 million to €27.0 million. This was fueled primarily by strong demand from the semiconductor industry. 

This favorable trend was likewise reflected in growth across the business lines during the first six months. While the Industry business line, at €122.7 million (previous year: €106.7 million), Advertising & Building, at €41.2 million (previous year: €37.8 million), and Infrastructure, at €84.1 million (previous year: €65.1 million), recorded significant increases in revenue, revenue from other fields of application and trading activities rose only moderately to €57.7 million (previous year: €57.0 million), partly due to currency effects. Despite further growth in the field of aviation, the Mobility business line alone saw revenue decline to €34.0 million (previous year: €35.4 million), reflecting the persistent contraction of automotive business in China.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved from €17.2 million in the previous year to €31.0 million in the first half of the year. All three reporting regions recorded an increase in earnings. The EBIT margin improved from 5.7% in the same period of the previous year to 9.1%. Similarly, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased from €30.1 million to €46.2 million, while the EBITDA margin rose from 10.0% to 13.6%. After weakness in the Chinese currency had adversely affected net finance cost/income in the first half of the previous year, the strengthening of the renminbi in the first six months of this year, in particular, resulted in a break-even net finance cost/income position and improved earnings before taxes (EBT). 

“In the first half of 2026, we achieved significant growth in revenue, sales volume, and earnings. Since March, we have been confronted with historically high increases in raw material prices. This presented us with major challenges but also generated exceptional demand as customers brought purchases forward in anticipation of further hikes in raw material prices. There has been no improvement in the challenging economic arena, especially in Europe. Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty, volatile raw material costs, and exchange rate fluctuations continue to shape the operating environment. Against this backdrop, we anticipate a marked slowdown in business in the second half of the year. Even so, based on the performance of the first six months, we are increasing our 2026 revenue guidance from €615–625 million to €630–650 million. On the back of a strong first half, we expect the EBIT margin to be at the upper end of our target range of 6–8%,” said Matthias Schönberg, Chairman of the Management Board (CEO) of SIMONA AG.
